1959

Published by the
CLASS OF '59

Mount Everett Regional School
Sheffield, Massachusetts

Dedication

We, the Class of 1959, take pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to Mr.
Trocchi to whom we are deeply indebted. During our years at Mount Everett
he has been both mentor and friend. Untold times he has readily assisted us in
making complex and difficult decisions. Always he has displayed patience,
understanding, and sympathy. His willingness to help we shall ever remember
with infinite gratitude.

It is our sincere hope that many more future classes at Mount Everett will
be able to benefit from his guidance.

Foreword

Who of us could ever forget the beauty of the Berkshires? The rich crim-
son and golden leaves of the autumn foliage provide a colorful background for
memories, particularly ours of Mount Everett. Snow-laden trees outlined
against the midnight blue of the sky leave just as vivid an imprint. Regardless
of the distant journeys on which we may embark, surely every spring each of
us will recapture the breath-taking vision of the Berkshire country-side in its
moment of rebirth. For this reason we have chosen trees as the theme for the
Aurigan '59.

The staff of the Aurigan '59 whole heartedly appreciate the important
contributions made by Mr. Norton, Mr. May, and Mr. Downie. Although
Margie Gingras was not a member of the yearbook staff, she willingly donated
her time and effort in typing copy. Their assistance not only eased the burden
of the staff members but also, we believe, resulted in a better yearbook than
would otherwise have been possible.

The Graduating Class of 1959
Dear Seniors:

You have now graduated from high school and are about the task of living the
sequel to this event of your life. You are to be congratulated for the former. Only
time can disclose what is in order for the latter.

Many paths are open for you to follow with at least one thing in common; they
all lead to your future. This future may be a goal which you have already chosen.
It could be just some far-off, bright, and rosy unknown quantity which you hope
will drift your way. If you are pessimistic about the future, it, undoubtedly, looks
like a dark storm cloud forming on the horizon with you directly in its oncoming
course .

I would like to mention briefly three typical paths. The first, very easy to
walk, is pleasant, presents no particular challenge, and ends where you began.
The second path is also easy to walk, but it ends in a swampy, mosquito -ridden
wasteland with the reward of mosquito bites and misery. The third path is one
which is often difficult and occasionally precarious, but it ends with a beautiful
view, giving one a sense of accomplishment which makes the effort worthwhile.

You do have to do something with your life. It must be lived. You can take
the easy, pleasant path - never straying to the right or left, never disturbing your-
self or anyone else. At the end of your life you will have lived it; nothing more,
nothing less. You will be just about where you started.

Of course, you could follow the second path. In living, however, it could
well be that the mosquitoes and black fly bites would turn out to be something
else. You could do the biting, with society the victims, or you could be bitten
too. The dismal swamp might give way to substandard living, or, perhaps worse,
the bread line, skid row, a penal institution, or maybe just another ne'er-do-well.

On the other hand, you might choose to make the very best of what you have.
It will be difficult at times. Sometimes you will stumble and lose strength. You
will have to make these stumbles renew your determination to fight on toward your
goal. At the end you will find a reward of satisfaction. You will have lived life
to its fullest. You will have had successes and failures and the feeling that you
have somehow, to some degree, left a good and satisfying contribution to society.
This can not be done, however, unless you plan it that way and then set about the
task of making it become a reality.

I hope you choose to follow the more satisfying, and possibly more difficult,
path. You can, and will, succeed if you use the skills you have learned and never
stop learning, working, and trying.

The best of success to you; and don't wait for luck. Make it! I!

Sincerely yours,

Charles E. Bybee, Principal

History

In September, 1955, we transplanted our roots from the small dis-
trict schools to Mount Everett where we entered as freshmen.

Our first and most important task was to become acquainted with
our fellow classmates; then we worked hard to foster class unity. Dur-
ing those hectic half-day sessions, it was not an uncommon sight to
see workmen's saws, drills, nails, paint, paint brushes, and hammers -
occasionally we even saw the workmen. We will never forget using
the Student Pub for the library because the latter was not completed.
We will long remember the day Gertrude Dozier was found "guilty" in
one of our civics "law trials." Veronica Higgins brought honor to our
class by winning second prize in the school's American Legion orator-
ical contest. (Incidentally, there were only two contestants.) Under
the able leadership of our class officers, Myra Rosenstein, President;
Robert Jackson, Vice President; Cindy Hardy, Secretary; Janet Cagney,
Treasurer; and Barde Ensign, Student Council Representative; our class
held its first Carnival Dance, which subsequently became an annual
event with our class.

Full of vim and vigor, we entered our sophomore year. Our sur-
veying trips in geometry were fun, but the memory of dissecting frogs
in biology still gives some of our girls shivers. Outstanding in our
memory is the time when some fish were finally put into the fish tank
outside Room 18. Two weeks later, unfortunately, the little souls
were all dead. That year we gave Barde Ensign a birthday party, and
everything worked out fine until Marie dropped the birthday cake.
However, being the ingenious people that we are, we scraped off the
dirt and ate the cake. Our class officers were Barde Ensign, President;
Stephen Smith, Vice President; Veronica Higgins, Secretary; Joseph
Macchi, Treasurer; and Marjorie Gingras, Student Council Representa-
tive. Once again, our Carnival Dance was successful. We created
quite a commotion with another dance, appropriately called the
"Sophomore Panic."

Our Junior year was certainly both profitable and pleasant. That
was when we realized more than ever before how rapidly our high
school days were passing. Now we could rightly be termed upper-
classmen. We elected Robert Jackson, President; David Preston, Vice
President; Veronica Higgins, Secretary; Joseph Macchi, Treasurer;
and William Mintz, Student Council Representative. We will never
forget a certain "French -Spanish" class - n'est pas, amigos? Each
junior proudly extended his hand to everyone the day that we received
our class rings. Besides our faithful Carnival Dance, we sponsored the
Senior Farewell, which was a tremendous success.

Finally our big year came. At last we were seniors! We made a
good start by electing as our class officers, David Preston, President;
Charles Proctor, Vice President; Veronica Higgins, Secretary; Bruce
Howden, Treasurer; and Joseph Macchi, Student Council Representa-
tive. Soon we were frantically rehearsing for the senior play. It was
entitled "Annie Get Your Gun," with Ingrid Joesten as Annie Oakley
and Stephen Smith as Frank Butler. What senior could forget the trips
to Friendly 's after play rehearsals or the time we rehearsed at Charles'
house? "Annie Get Your Gun" was a complete and "howling" success,
which made us proud to be members of the class of '59. Charles
Proctor was elected to represent Mt. Everett at Good Government Day
in Boston, amid the cheers and shouts of his fellow seniors. Of course,
we gave our annual Carnival Dance, and we sadly realized that was to
be our last one. After winter vacation things began to happen fast and
furiously. Work on the yearbook reached full speed. We'll all remem-
ber the senior skating party, Room 21, psychology, practicing for
graduation and classnight, and Mr. Sullivan's dismissals. As for the
senior handwriting, how could we ever forget "The quiet frog jumps
when vexed by lazy ducks". . .etc. As the year drew to a close, we
were caught up in the prom, class night, and finally - graduation. We
are stepping out into a new life, but we will never forget our friends
and our dear alma mater, Mt. Everett.

Class Prophecy

On this Saturday evening of June 21, 1975, the usually quiet and placid
town of Sheffield, Massachusetts, is in the midst of bustling preparations for a
festive occasion. The bulk of the activity is centered around the Sheffield Inn,
which is owned and operated by Margie Gingras. Here Mt. Everett's distin-
guished Class of '59 will gather for a joyous reunion -the first since graduation.
On hand to greet the arriving guests are Miss Gingras and W. Jackson French,
the Superintendent of Schools.

MISS GINGRAS: Well, Jack, I most certainly am glad that you have returned
from your lecture tour in which you evaluated contemporary American educa-
tion. You are just in time to assume your duties as official host.

MR. FRENCH: No obstacle could be permitted to stand in the way of my pres-
ence at this very merry celebration.

MISS GINGRAS: I do hope that Bonnie Cahill's plane from Africa does not en-
counter any delays. You know she has been hunting big game in the Belgian
Congo. Too bad Terry Trieweiler can not accompany her. Yesterday I re-
ceived a letter from Terry saying she was most dejected at not being able to
get a leave of absence from her missionary duties in Ghana. However, she
has been fortunate to see several Mount Everett alumni recently. She tells me
that only a week ago she had breakfast with Bill Mintz, a colonel, who is on a
secret mission for the Air Force; Linda Sanford, who is selling insurance to the
natives; Bob Rutsis, the diamond merchant; and Bonnie, who was elated at
having shot a wild boar.

MR. FRENCH: Speaking of Bob Rutsis, did you know that he has become quite
a philanthropist? He provides the primary financial support for the Happy Home
of the Homeless, an orphanage directed by Jane Herrick. By the way, is your
chef equal to such a momentous event as this reunion?
MISS GINGRAS: Of course! My chef is none other than Bill Clark. People
come hundreds of miles to taste the cuisine. It is also arranged that Bill Em-
primo, Chairman of the Southern Berkshire Regional School Board, will make
a welcoming speech. Hattie Johnson, owner of the Sheffield Sugar Bowl,
where the teenagers meet after school hours, and the former Charlotte Grahn,
who last year was the proud recipient of the title "Mrs. America," will serve
on the reception committee. Peter Eichstedt, an accountant at the National
Mahaiwe Bank, will take personal charge of the financial arrangements. Now,
have I forgotten anything? On the program is scheduled a guided tour of Charlie
Proctor's model farm. Did you read in the Berkshire Courier about his receiving
an award as New England's outstanding dairy farmer?

MR. FRENCH: Obviously you are a most competent innkeeper. Our class owes
you a vote of thanks for your untiring efforts at making this reunion a success.
It's almost time for the arrival of my two old friends, Mark Hamilton and Bruce
Howden. I'm very anxious to see them. You realize, of course, that Bruce has
won world renown as a painter who compares favorably with Picasso. Mark is
well satisfied with his position as President of Harvard University. They are
driving up in a Jaguar purchased by Bruce from Betty Snyder, a saleswoman for
the Preiss and Preston Foreign Car Company. Ernie and Dave have the biggest
sales record of any New England agency.

MISS GINGRAS: Excuse me for a moment, please, I must answer the phone...
That was Sue Shaw, Fred Willcox's law partner, who wanted to make reserva-
tions for dinner. They are bringing with them Marty Percy, Ambassador to the
Soviet Union, and Sophie Macchi, his secretary. Oh, here comes our first
guest, Ingrid Joesten, who is currently starring in her own Broadway production.
Welcome!

MISS JOESTEN: Hello, hello, hello! It is so good to be back once again in
dear Sheffield, the home of my youth. Silence! Let me sink into reverie...
Ah, I never realized until now how homesick I have been. Now, good people,
tell me of the wanderings and exploits of my ex-classmates.
MR. FRENCH: Undoubtedly you have seen the tremendous publicity concerning
our newly elected U.S. Senator, Veronica Higgins. Taking time from his disc
jockey duties, Joe Macchi handled her campaign. Now Veronica and Joe, ably
assisted by his secretary, Alice Machia, are vigorously working to have Joan
Christman elected as the first woman president of the U.S.
MISS GINGRAS: I am so thrilled! It's a great honor to have such a famous
actress here in my inn.

MISS JOESTEN: But I am not the only actress from our class. Surely you know
that Nancy Warner and Judy Wyman have their own television program on which
they dance, sing, and act in New York City. Steve Smith writes scintillating
script for them, and Marie Peters is their press agent. Bob Jackson, a player
for the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, and Boston Celtics, recently appeared as
a guest star on the program. Biggest fan of the show is Ed Guidi, who takes
time from his arduous duties as a minister, to view it.
MISS GINGRAS: Your reference to television reminds me that Elaine Van
Deusen, commentator on the M. Solomon Fashion Parade, hopes to obtain on
camera your views on women's fashions. There you can renew acquaintances
with Evelyn Ruthel and Janet Cagney, who are top models on the show. I hear
voices. Wonderful! Here come the rest of the '59-ers.

The Student Council active-
ly works to make each aca-
demic year more successful
